कर्णनिधनवृत्तान्तनिवेदनम् | Reporting Karṇa’s Fall to Yudhiṣṭhira
अनुसृत्य तु ये धर्म कथयेयुरुपस्थिता: । समासविस्तरदविदां न तेषां वेत्सि निश्चयम्
anusṛtya tu ye dharmaṃ kathayeyur upasthitāḥ | samāsavistaradavidāṃ na teṣāṃ vetsi niścayam ||
然而你并不知晓那些导师们已然确立的裁断——他们自身遵循并践行达摩,为弟子所趋赴敬奉,而后宣说达摩;他们通晓其纲要之旨,亦明其细行之用。
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच
Kṛṣṇa stresses epistemic humility in matters of dharma: one should not presume certainty without knowing the considered conclusion of realized teachers who both practice dharma and understand its principles (summary) as well as its nuanced applications (detail).
In the Karṇa Parva war setting, Kṛṣṇa addresses his interlocutor to correct a claim or assumption about what dharma requires, pointing out that the speaker lacks knowledge of the authoritative decision held by true dharma-knowing teachers.
